Texas Tavern
A downtown landmark open since 1930 with only ten bar stools, famous for its chili and the Cheesy Western burger.
Founded in 1930 by the Bullington family and still run by them, the tavern has just 10 stools. Its sign reads, 'We can serve a thousand people, ten at a time.' The signature is the Cheesy Western, a cheeseburger with a fried egg, dill pickles and sweet sauce. The house chili is made from the original recipe, and hot dogs are also served. The interior looks much as it did when it opened. It is open all day and is a local late-night stop. According to sources, no item costs more than $6. It is cash only, though there is an ATM on site. The tavern is on Church Avenue downtown and within walking distance.
